[QUOTE="Iriebabel, post: 664906, member: 77831"] Congratulations and Buen Camino [URL]http://catedraldesantiago.es/liturgia/#botafumeiro[/URL] [URL]https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/[/URL]. Under the FAQ’s page I think you have to reserserve it It no longer operates daily. The following is copied from the FAQ’s page : When does Botafumeiro work? The Botafumeiro (‘censer’ in Galician) is one of the most famous and popular symbols of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. It is a large censer that swings from the central dome of the Cathedral, from which it hangs by a system of pulleys, to the side naves. Eight men are required to move it, who are known as the [I]tiraboleiros[/I], as it weighs 53 kg and measures 1.50 metres; it is suspended at a height of 20 metres and can reach a high speed. The Botafumeiro is used for liturgical purposes, in the same way any priest would use a censer at the altar, and you can see it on the following days of Eucharistic celebration [LIST] [*]The Epiphany: 6th January [*]Easter Sunday [*]The Ascension of the Lord [*]The Appearance of the Apostle-Clavijo: 23rd May [*]Pentecost [*]The Martyrdom of St. James: 25th July [*]Mary’s Assumption: 15th August [*]All Saints: 1st November [*]Christ the King [*]Immaculate Conception: 8th December [*]Christmas: 25th December [*]Transfer of the remains of the Apostle: 30th December [/LIST] [B]The Botafumeiro can also be operated to mark pilgrimages that have been requested at the Pilgrim’s Reception Office[/B] To reserve the Botafumeiro, please send an email to: [EMAIL]botafumeiro@catedraldesantiago.es[/EMAIL].
